I feel this thread is incomplete without mention of kobolds. Kobolds, for the D&D impaired, are short little bastards who are somewhat cowardly in small numbers, so make up for it by grouping into large, vicious mobs. They’re usually not too bright. I figure if some evil leader type can manage to intimidate enough kobolds into working together, the Oompas and Munchkins haven’t got a chance unless you give them some advanced military training. The Nac Mac Feegle would probably still kick plenty of kobold ass though. ---

[QUOTE=Captain Amazing] I think it says something very positive about Munchkin society that they’re willing to elect officials regardless of sexual orientation. [/QUOTE] It’s been a while since I saw the movie. Which Munchkin was the straight one again? ---
